SERMs are a class on nonsteroidal compounds that exhibit estrogen agonist and antagonist properties in a tissue-specific fashion. The 2 most frequently used SERMs are raloxifene and tamoxifen. Raloxifene exhibits estrogen agonist activity on the bone and decreases post-menopausal osteoporosis. Although less effective than aldendronate, raloxifene is frequently used for osteoporosis management in postmenopausal women who cannot tolerate bisphosphonates or are at high risk for invasive breast cancer. All medicines with estrogen agonist activity increase risk for what
VTE
Shoulder dystocia frequently occurs in patients with no risk factors and can be difficult to predict. What are the warning signs of an impending dystocia
- Prolonged first or second stage of labor
- retraction of the fetal head into the perineum after delivery (turtle sign)
ilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy and a painless genital chancre
Classic symptoms of primary syphilis
Describe the lesion of primary syphilis
-single papule that turns into a shallow, painless, NONexudative ulcer with indurated edges
initial RPR result in early primary syphilis
Can be negative
Patients with negative screening serology and strong clinical evidence of primary syphilis should be treated how
impirically with Intramuscular benzathine penicillin G
-repeat nontreponemal serology should be done in 2-4 weeks to establish baseline titers
Clinical presentation of epithelial ovarian carcinoma?
- Acute: shortness of breath, obstipation/constipation with vomiting, abdominal distention
- Subacute: pelvic abdominal pain, bloating, early satiety
- Asymptomatic adnexal mass
US findings in epithelial ovarian carcinoma?
- Solid mass
- Thick septations
- Ascites
Management of epithelial ovarian carcinoma
-Exploratory Laparotomy
Ascites from epithelial ovarian carcinoma is likely due to what
-peritoneal spread of cancer causing increased capillary permeability and decreased intravascular oncotic pressure
What is the use of CA-125 in epithelial ovarian carcinoma
-to correlate with clinical finding and to monitor treatment in the future
In an RH- woman in second pregnancy having RH+ baby will need anti-D immune globulin. A standard dose of 300 ug at 28 weeks gestation can usually prevent alloimmunization. However, about 50% of Rh-negative women will need a higher dose after delivery, placental abruption, or procedures. What is commonly used to determine the dose

Risk factors for placenta accreta

correlation of OCPs and HTN
- OCPs can cause mild elevations in BP and sometimes lead to overt HTN.
- Discontinuing OCPs can reduce the BP over a 2 t o12 month period and can often correct the problem

every 3 months

Treatment of confirmed Gonorrhea but negative chlamydia? . . . If using NAAT

Fat necrosis can mimic breast cancer in its clinical and radiographic presentation because it commonly presents as what?
-a fixed mass with skin or nipple retraction and gives the appearance of calcifications on mammography
Biopsy is diagnostic of fat necrosis and typically shows what
Fat globules and foamy histiocytes
once fat necrosis is diagnosed, what is the most appropriate course of action in management
Reassurance and routine follow up
Complications of inadequate pregnancy weight on the fetus
- Fetal growth restriction
- Preterm delivery
- unilateral bloody nipple discharge
- No associated mass or lymphadenopathy
Intraductal papilloma
